Utility committee recommends $50,000 flow-monitoring contract with R. A. Smith to common council
Summary
The New Berlin Utility Committee voted to recommend a $50,000 contract with R. A. Smith for the 2025 sanitary sewer flow monitoring and inflow and infiltration (I&I) quantification program; the award will go to the Common Council for final approval.
The New Berlin Utility Committee on Feb. 25 voted to recommend that the Common Council award a $50,000 professional services contract to R. A. Smith for the 2025 sanitary sewer flow monitoring and inflow and infiltration (I&I) quantification program.
Alex, a staff member, told the committee the firm would assist the utility with the flow-monitoring program, “quantify the data, tell us where we need to relocate those monitors and determine the sources of our inflow and infiltration.” The contract was described as a $50,000 lump-sum agreement covering monitoring for the full year.
The recommendation follows committee discussion of longer-term I&I work. Alex said groundwater-related flow readings have risen recently despite ongoing I&I efforts. He also told the committee the city receives an annual monitoring report and that the monitoring helps hold regional partners (referred to in the meeting as MMSD) accountable for certain flows.
Committee members moved and seconded the recommendation and approved it by voice vote; no individual roll-call votes were recorded in the transcript. The committee established a quorum earlier in the meeting with Alderman Hopkins, Alderman Krupa, Alderman Heranda and Commissioner Anderson present; Commissioner Neeson was excused.
The recommendation will be transmitted to the Common Council for final action. The committee closed the meeting after approving the recommendation and routine minutes from its Jan. 28 meeting.
